Klein Constantia
Metis Contantia Sauvignon Blanc
Constantia, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Big day tasting in Constantia so minimal notes; pale lemon; medium intensity aromas of citrus, lime zest, stone fruit, cucumber, sage, coriander, funky mineral; dry, high acid, medium alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium plus finish, very good; interesting to compare with the Estate Sauvignon Blanc

The nose is a little shy with just a touch of funk. Muted; lemon, lime, white peach, apricot, grapefruit with pith, cut grass, hints of flint, light volcanic minerals, beautiful soft chalkiness, vanilln, oak notes and spring flowers.
The palate shows some age and softening. This bottling might need some food to really make it shine. The body is round and softer than their 2018 1865 bottling. Understated lemon, lime, white peach, apricot, grapefruit with pith, touch of cut grass, hints of flint, a little green bean, light volcanic minerals, beautiful soft chalkiness, vanilln, oak notes and spring flowers. Nice high acidity and a beautiful understated finish with the exception of more pronounced minerality on the long set.
Photos of, an aerial photos of the vineyards with designations, branded oak barrel, a bottle in their tasting room Alnwick Castle Constantia of 1791 or 1809 from the Duke of Northumberland and tasting lounge area.

Gamey, blue cheese and slate. Pumpkin seeds and salt. Punchy, almost petillant.

Выпито 31.01.21 в Москве в ресторане Regent с Гапоновым П. Прекрасный южноафриканский совиньон блан 2015 года. Понравилось. Очень неплохое.
